Question: Since this happened in the field, does the court martial and any sentence (assuming a firing squad)also happen in the field?

The rule for summary court martial and execution in the field during wartime has never been stuck as far as I know. Unfortunately, we ALL know the military can't follow it...it's bring out the 'FREE PADILLA SUSPENSION OF HABEUS CORPUS' crowd in droves.
